14 DAY TRIAL // As the world is already accustomed by now, another Monday goes by, another list of discounted games pops up on Steam, featured on the Weeklong Deals list.
This time around, Valve's platform is offering a total of 38 games, from classic platformers to triple-A first-person shooters that are past their prime, and the deal lasts until next week on March 17.
Crytek Studios' superb shooters Crysis and Crysis 2 are both offered at 66 percent off, offering players the opportunity to slap on a nanosuit that will greatly enhance their combat prowess and save the world from a secret alien invasion.
Still keeping the focus on shooters, the Chrome and Chrome – SpecForce bundle brings both games' prices down to an incredibly low $2 / €1.5 and action fans looking for a more thrilling experience will be pleased to also find Visceral Games' Dead Space as well as its sequel Dead Space 2 at a 66 percent discount.
And speaking of classics, The Farm 51's Painkiller is featured in a Complete Pack, coming at 75 percent off and bundling together all the game's past iterations, complete will all the DLC ever released, since the series' inception in 2004 up to the latest downloadable content pack that came out in December 2013.
Platforming fans will also be pleased to find the timeless antics of gamers' favorite spineless hero Earthworm Jim, with all three games in the collection offered at 66 percent off. But that's not all, as Poof vs. The Cursed Kitty also joins the fray, alongside a certain spikey globetrotter.

Fans of pixelated graphics also have something in store, as the Steam Marines Early Access just got 25 percent off the top, inviting gamers to try out a squad-based tactical roguelike set on a steampunk spaceship. Teleglitch: Die More Edition, offered at half price, will have them take on the role of a scientist that finds himself being the sole survivor on a distant planet.
Coffee Stain Studios' Goat Simulator may be only three weeks away, but their previous game Sanctum, a mélange of first-person shooter and tower defense, is certainly more available than ever, getting a massive 90 percent reduction in price. Think your defensive structures are underperforming? Join the action and show them how to take down the endless waves of enemies.
There's also something for adventure fans, both The Night of the Rabbit and Chaos on Deponia offering a classical hand-drawn point-and-click experience, and both of them going for half their usual retail price.
